DouglasH I was looking around the forum and stumbled across your post re my fav band the Silencers. Uncanny don,t you think considering most people have never heard of them or thought they were defunct.
Tomorrow i,m putting the hood down and the Silencers on.

As soul catcher says its unusual to hear of anyone else that's even heard of them, unless of course you are in France where they have a huge following. First started listening to them in 87 (thanks Billy Sloan) and have a few of the live Radio Clyde sessions taped. Never got the chance to see them live until just before xmas there when Colin (BVR) and I went along, it was a brilliant gig and the new line up is well suited, just sad I never got the chance to see the great Cha Burns play live before he died.
So a few more for the gig at the ABC in 2008.

I,ve been following the Silencers for about 20 years or so and have seen them umpteen times, they really are as good live as on their recordings. As for Cha well what can I say he was simply magnificent on guitar as is sorely missed by this fan,thankfully I saw him play many a time including his last Gig in the ABC last year.
RIP Cha

Tried to get tickets but they were sold out after a few days, trust my local paper to print an article after the tickets were sold out the week before.
There may be another batch from a different source, I'm still working on it.
